Leaf Discolouration

Misanthropestarted grow question 4y ago

I notice some leaves developing this yellow discoloration on the older growth, usually closer to the central stalk than the outside. The green gradually shifts to yellow going from mid leaf outward to the tip. I'm hoping it's just lack of sunlight from the dense foliage. Ideas?

Possible toxicity or deficiency?I saw this on one of my bottom leaves this morning. Hopefully someone can give insight of what it might be. I'm concerned that it is phosphorous deficiency. I didn't notice it a day ago, but I wasn't looking closely. 2 days ago I watered her (540 mL, 1/4 tsp nutrients). Thoughts?

Yellowing, wilting, stunted growth Can anyone please help me identify whats wrong with them. I've done a flush, adjusted the lights, reduced the nutrient strength, I've pretty much done everything and still stunted growth and they are still looking weak and frail. I'm lost and I don't even know what's wrong.
